English translation:world literary masterpieces
Explanation:
Although the term "novels" is correct in the context of "رويات " I have not come across this phrase before, so my answer is basically statistical.. it is what we say when referring to what is best in the genre and so has become a classic. "World literary classics" is also correct.
